Meeting Minutes of June 3, 2009

3 Request: To convert existing service bays within a service station to
4 retail space, and to allow a Type 20 ABC License (off-sale

11 Staff Report
12
13 Mr. Whittenberg delivered the staff report.
(Staff Report is on file for inspection in the
14 He provided some background information on this item and noted
Planning Department.)
15 that while researching the Staff Report, Staff found that the Zoning Code (ZC) standards
16 prohibit the sale of wine and beer from service stations located within 100 feet of
17 residential zones or within 1,000 feet of park areas. He noted that this gas station is
18 immediately adjacent to residences and within 1,000 feet of park facilities. Staff is,
19 therefore, recommending denial of the request for alcohol sales. He noted that if the
20 applicants wish to pursue this, they would be required to submit an application for a
21 Variance from these distance standards. With regard to the conversion of the service
22 bays for retail uses, the main issue is the provision of parking on the property to meet
23 the standards for the service station use as well as for the existing convenience market
24 and any additional retail uses requested. He noted that the service bay area measures
25 approximately 1,325 sq. ft. and the basic parking requirement for retail uses is 1 parking
26 space per every 300 sq. ft. of floor area, which would equal parking 5 spaces in addition
27 to what is already required. Mr. Whittenberg then explained that the applicant has
28 provided 20 parking spaces on the property so if some of this area was to be used for a
29 restaurant or sandwich shop use, there would be some flexibility for additional parking
30 spaces over what would be required for a strictly retail use. He stated that Staff
31 recommends approval of the Conditional Use Permit for the conversion of the service
32 bay area to either retail or restaurant use, subject to meeting the required parking
33 standards. He noted that Staff has included the requirement that the handicap access
34 space be relocated to the front of the building immediately adjacent to the new retail,
35 convenience market area in accordance with Building Code requirements.
36
37 Commissioner Questions
38
39 Commissioner Massa-Lavitt asked if Staff had the opportunity to recalculate the number
40 of parking spaces on site by re-measuring the parallel parking spaces. Mr. Whittenberg
41 stated that they would still have the required parking spaces.
42
43 Chairperson Deaton asked what the current hours of operation are at the gas station.
44 Mr. Whittenberg indicated that the operating hours for the convenience store and
45 service station are from 5:00 a.m. to midnight, and the automotive repair activities are
46 from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Chairperson Deaton confirmed that what the applicant
4 of 10
City of Seal Beach Planning Commission
Meeting Minutes of June 3, 2009
1 proposes is that all operations at the service station be open from 5:00 a.m. to midnight.
2 Mr. Whittenberg noted that they basically included the provision that applies to the
3 existing convenience market.
4
5 Commissioner Massa-Lavitt if the operating hours of 5:00 a.m. to midnight are permitted
6 by the Zoning Code (ZC). Mr. Whittenberg stated that by right the ZC allows
7 businesses within Commercial Zones to operate from 6:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m.
8
9 Commissioner Eager asked what the operating hours would be if the PC were to
10 approve CUP 09-5. Mr. Whittenberg stated that the hours of operation would be from
11 5:00 a.m. to midnight.
12
13 Public Hearing
14
15 Chairperson Deaton opened the public hearing.
16
17 Mr. Jeff Forgey, of JF Development Services, spoke on behalf of the applicant and
18 noted that the existing service bay area is vacant and represents approximately 46
19 percent of the building’s square footage, yet generates no revenue. He stated that in
20 order to be competitive with business and service stations throughout the City, the
21 property owner is proposing converting the vacant lube bay into retail space, to be
22 divided into a sandwich shop, such as a Subway franchise, and a dry cleaning
23 business. He explained that today more conveniences and everyday services that are
24 easily accessible are more beneficial to the community. Mr. Forgey added that another
25 convenience that the applicant would like to add is the availability of beer and wine. He
26 noted that the location of this station, which is in a residential area away from freeways
27 and not in a high crime area, makes it an excellent location for adding this convenience.
28 He stated that this Chevron station is a responsible business that provides a safe and
29 clean environment. He noted that Chevron food marts dedicate less than 2 percent of
30 the floor area to alcohol products, which would be restricted to beer and wine. Mr.
31 Forgey then added that nighttime lighting for this service station is customer friendly and
32 provides task lighting at the fueling areas and area lighting throughout the site, as well
33 as adequate exterior lighting throughout the property to enhance security of employees
34 and customers. He noted that employees will be trained by Alcohol and Beverage
35 Control (ABC) to verify the age of all customers with a photo I.D. He then added that
36 this Chevron station provides convenient access from Lampson Avenue and Basswood
37 Street, as well adequate parking, landscaping, planter areas, site lighting, and security.
38
39 Bhupinder S. Mac, owner of the Chevron Station, stated that he has owned this property
40 since 1992 and has leased in on several occasions to other tenants who have not
41 adequately maintained the property, so two years ago he took the property back. He
42 cleaned it up and added several enhancements and brought in the Chevron brand
43 name. He explained that the service bays were closed due to complaints from
44 surrounding residents of people leaving their old cars there. He explained that having
45 the market would be convenient for surrounding residents and he is a responsible
46 business owner and would ensure that the sale of beer and wine is done responsibly.
5 of 10
City of Seal Beach Planning Commission
Meeting Minutes of June 3, 2009
1 He requested approval of CUP 09-5. He indicated that if it is necessary to apply for a
2 Variance, Mr. Forgey would take care of that. Chairperson Deaton explained to Mr.
3 Mac that the Variance could not be granted tonight. Mr. Mac stated that he understood.
4
5 Marty Baylin stated that he has been employed with the Nirvair Corporation, the
6 Chevron Station, for 10 years and they provide excellent service and a clean facility to
7 the community. He stated that the service bays give the station a bad look and they
8 wish to create a clean appearance for this service station. He indicated that approval of
9 CUP 09-5 would help the Chevron station, would cut down on drive time for nearby
10 residents purchasing items at the convenience store, and eventually would increase
11 revenue to the City. He noted that the Old Ranch Townhomes do not fall within 100 feet
12 of the service station and the profit margin for beer and wine is less than 5 percent, and
13 would only be provided as a service to the surrounding community. He emphasized
14 that this business is very responsibly operated.
15
16 Matt Meter, 225 Old Ranch Road, stated that has resided right on the other side of the
17 gas station for approximately 10 years and the gas station has been a very good
18 neighbor and a good business. He indicated that now there is a huge concern over
19 additional noise created by customers arriving, fueling their cars, departing the service
20 station, loud music from car radios, and car alarms going off. He stated that with the
21 addition of the convenience market residents would now have to deal with noise from
22 delivery trucks arriving at 7:00 a.m. and with the sandwich shop open until 11:00 p.m.
23 there would be more activity and noise. He noted that parking is to be located at the
24 rear of the service station closest to the residential area, which will greatly impact the
25 quality of life for these families.
26
27 Mr. Mac stated that cars were not being worked on, but rather old cars had been
28 abandoned and were left in the bays creating an eyesore. With regard to delivery
29 trucks, Mr. Mac stated that all of the deliveries are made between the hours of 7:00 a.m.
30 and 8:00 p.m. He noted that beer and wine would not be delivered in refrigerated
31 trucks. He assured the PC that they can work harder to ensure that there is no loud
32 noise, and noted that most of the customers that come in the evening are local
33 residents. Chairperson Deaton asked how many people Mr. Mac employs. Mr. Mac
34 stated that he employs 3 people, one to handle each 8-hour shift.
35
36 Commissioner Eagar asked if additional employees would be hired for the sandwich
37 shop. Mr. Mac stated that he would hire additional employees to serve in the sandwich
38 shop and the dry cleaners would close at 6:00 p.m. on weekdays, 2:00 p.m. on
39 Saturdays, and would be closed on Sundays. He stated that he operates a service
40 station in Woodland Hills with these retail services, and he has never had any
41 complaints.
42
43 Commissioner Eagar asked Mr. Meter when the gas station lighting is turned on in the
44 evening. Mr. Meter stated that lighting has been an issue and has changed with each
45 lessee. Now with Chevron the station has a new LED banner that creates a lot of glare
46 and there is also a wall pack that shines over the townhomes. He stated he has asked
6 of 10
City of Seal Beach Planning Commission
Meeting Minutes of June 3, 2009
1 that this lighting be adjusted or turned off and has had no response. He also
2 commented that trash does get thrown over the wall and his home was broken into and
3 when the burglar exited he jumped over the wall and onto the gas station lot.
4
5 Jim Forgey stated that the rear of the building is 35.7 feet from the property line and the
6 interior lines of the property have a contiguous solid block wall at the perimeter. He
7 noted that the City does not take into account any parking in the fueling areas, noting
8 that there are 8 pumps, and most customers will park to fuel their cars and then proceed
9 to the market or to the sandwich shop or the dry cleaners, without moving their car to
10 another parking space.
11
12 There being no one else wishing to speak, Chairperson Deaton closed the public
13 hearing.
14
15 Commissioner Comments
16
17 Commissioner Massa-Lavitt stated that the project will lose approximately 4 parking
18 spaces with the reconfiguration and someone needs to scale out the parking lot to
19 ensure that they will indeed have the required number of parking spaces. She agreed
20 that the under canopy pumping stations should be counted as parking spaces, but the
21 ZC does not allow for this. She then asked if there were a requirement for a loading
22 zone on this size project. Mr. Whittenberg stated that loading zones are required for
23 buildings of 5,000 sq. ft. or more. Commissioner Massa-Lavitt stated that the lighting
24 plan should have been reviewed to see if there spillover and Chevron should do this to
25 prevent any impact to the adjacent residential units. Mr. Whittenberg stated that there
26 are a number of projects that were approved in the past, but when they come back
27 before the PC for review this can be addressed. Commissioner Massa-Lavitt then
28 suggested having the gas station increase the height of the block wall on the perimeter
29 to 8 feet. Mr. Whittenberg noted that one of the issues that always arises when creating
30 commercial uses near residential uses, is that depending upon the way the residential
31 uses are oriented toward the commercial use, once you begin increasing heights of
32 walls, a lot of times you start blocking off light and air, and this sometimes becomes
33 more of a problem than the noise. He recommended assigning different operating
34 hours for the other retail uses on the property. Chairperson Deaton asked if the PC
35 could change the hours for the convenience store. Mr. Whittenberg explained that this
36 would not be possible, as the market is already there and is simply to be expanded. Mr.
37 Flower stated that this would entail modification of the 2007 CUP approval and notice
38 for this has not been provided. Mr. Whittenberg stated that if the applicants do request
39 a Variance and a new CUP for the alcohol sales, then all of the current conditions for
40 the convenience market become open for consideration, including delivery hours and
41 hours of operation. He noted that the PC could establish different delivery hours for the
42 proposed retail uses. Chairperson Deaton stated that she recalls the resident whose
43 home is located behind the block wall next to the Jack-in-the-Box drive-thru who had
44 ongoing complaints about customers parking against the block wall. She stated that
45 parking might be less of a problem if the parking along the block wall at the rear of the
46 gas station could be exclusively for employees. She noted that there are no rear
7 of 10
City of Seal Beach Planning Commission
Meeting Minutes of June 3, 2009
1 entrances to the market and retail uses and having patrons park in the rear might lead
2 to more problems with noise. She recommended that this item be continued and that
3 Staff continue to work with the applicant to come up with a site plan that will address
4 these concerns. Commissioner Eagar was in agreement, and added, that in all fairness
5 to the owner, he has done a tremendous job in cleaning up the property. Commissioner
6 Bello asked whether employee parking has been factored in and if this would affect the
7 required parking. Mr. Whittenberg stated that it would not as the City’s parking
8 standards for businesses are established with the calculations for employee and
9 customer parking. Chairperson Deaton then noted that the question of whether the dry
10 cleaner will have a plant on site has not been discussed. Mr. Whittenberg indicated that
11 unless it is something that requires separate CUP approval, the tenant mix is not
12 something that would come before the PC. Chairperson Deaton stated that the PC
13 should still create conditions for directed lighting and to have employee parking at the
14 rear of the store. Mr. Whittenberg stated that the PC can condition this approval to
15 include these actions. Commissioner Massa-Lavitt stated that she was not inclined to
16 vote on this item tonight and added that the applicant must create a revised site plan
17 that shows an accurate parking count and a photometric plan showing the type of
18 lighting that is to be used and how it is to be shielded and directed.

45 Target is the process of completing a major remodel and as a part of this they wish to
46 expand their existing alcohol license to allow for the off-premise sale of distilled spirits
8 of 10
City of Seal Beach Planning Commission
Meeting Minutes of June 3, 2009
1 and liquor. He indicated that Staff has spoken with Lt. Tim Olson of Seal Beach Police
2 Department (SBPD) who stated that he has no concerns related to the upgrade of this
3 license, noting that Target has a good corporate security and control system. Staff has
4 added a number of conditions to the expansion of this license. He noted that Condition
5 No. 7 shows a delivery hour curfew from 10:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. and Staff recommends
6 that this be stricken and the existing condition for no deliveries between the hours of
7 10:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. remain as is. He also noted that Condition No. 8 prohibits video
8 games on the premises, and Target does sell video game consoles. They wish to
9 clarify that the video game prohibition includes coin-operated video games only and not
10 video games in general, as they do have the consoles on display within the store.
11 Chairperson Deaton asked if Staff had received complaints about the delivery hours.
12 Mr. Olivera stated that he recalls someone calling to complaint about delivery activity
13 taking place between the hours of 4:00 or 5:00 a.m., but Staff was not able to verify this.
14 He noted that Staff did contact Target to remind them of the restriction on deliveries and
15 since that time Staff has received no complaints.
16
17 Commissioner Questions
18
19 Commissioner Eagar noted that he believes the complaint was related to remodel
20 construction activity taking place outside of Target.

22 Public Hearing
23
24 Chairperson Deaton opened the public hearing.
25
26 Beth Aboulafia stated that she is representing Target tonight. She also introduced
27 Victor Campos who is the store manager for Seal Beach. She explained that a primary
28 component of the remodel is the grocery section, with the store adding 12-15 more isles
29 of grocery space, doubling its dry goods selection, introducing fresh produce, meats,
30 and fresh bakery items. She explained that in conjunction with the grocery section
31 Target is requesting the ability to offer a full selection of alcoholic beverages, in addition
32 to the beer and wine already permitted. She requested approval of Conditional Use
33 Permit (CUP) 09-9. Commissioner Eagar asked what the number of incidents of theft of
34 alcohol is. Ms. Aboulafia stated that she is not aware of any incidents, and this has not
35 been an issue at any of the Target stores that have introduced beer and wine.
